Inspirational Power Quote

 

People are Afraid

 

          "Of course people are afraid.

But honestly facing that fear,

seeing it for what it is,

is the only way of putting it to rest ."

Edna Ferber

  

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Everyone at some point experience fear; face your fear, find a way to overcome it, take corrective measures, then put it aside and move on.

Lou,

Fear can be paralyzing if we allow it to be. That's why the news media is so powerful in creating hysteria. :)

Lou,

Great quote.  You are spot on!  It is easy to become immobile when we are scared - there have been many days this year I could have just pulled the covers up over my head and stayed in bed all day!  :)  :)  :)   But we have to push on.  Thanks for the food for my brain!!  Have a great day! ...geri

Fear has always been a powerful force in working with people and their real estate. When money is invloved emotions run high and fear is often crippling for many people. How do we help them move past this? I believe by much education, spending the time with them they need to make informed decisions.

Lou,

Fear is what motivates us toward innovation and success.  Fear is a force that has many faces and attributes and definations.  Each of us may fear failure, but can see that failure is a stepping stone to the next mountain.

Fear can come from the unknown and how sad it that.  Information that leads to knowledge can almost elimate this fear if shared. 

Know thyself to use fear.  Be thyself to manage fear.  Love thyself to move fear.

Neat words.  Great Quote!

Hi Steve

The media has created fear in the eyes of the consumers and the real estate professional. We have to step over the fear to succeed.

Hi Kelly

Fear can stop us in our tracks, once we cope with our fear we can progress.
